A consortium formed by Alstom (50%) and Colas Rail (50%) signed a contract with the National Authority for Tunnels (NAT) for the extension of Cairo Metro Line 1 from the El-Marg to New El-Marg station. The project will include the construction of 1.2 km of double tracks and one new station (New El-Marg) that will have to be connected to the main line and to the control centre of Line 1. The extension will allow NAT to provide a more efficient service in the area of El Marg, which is carrying more and more passengers every day. Alstom’s scope of work for this project includes the design, supply and installation of power supply, signalling and telecommunications equipment. Works will last 24 months. Alstom’s share of the contract is worth €12 million.
